  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message TR246 - Object name &1 reserved exclusively for generated objects (package &2) ?

    The SAP error message TR246 indicates that you are trying to create or modify an object in a package that is reserved exclusively for generated objects. This typically occurs when you attempt to create a custom object in a package that is intended for system-generated objects, such as those created by SAP itself.

    Cause:

    1. Package Restrictions: The package you are trying to use is designated for generated objects only. This means that it is not intended for user-defined objects or modifications.
    2. Development Class: The object you are trying to create or modify is being assigned to a development class (package) that has restrictions on what types of objects can be created within it.

    Solution:

    1. Use a Different Package: Instead of using the package that is reserved for generated objects, select a different package that allows for custom development. You can create your own package if necessary.
    2. Check Package Attributes: If you have access, check the attributes of the package in transaction SE80 or SE21 to confirm its settings and restrictions.
    3. Consult Documentation: Review the SAP documentation or consult with your SAP Basis or development team to understand the intended use of the package and to find an appropriate alternative.
    4. Transport Request: If you are working within a transport request, ensure that the request is correctly set up and that you are not trying to include objects in a transport that are not allowed.

    Related Information:

    • Transaction Codes: You can use transaction codes like SE80 (Object Navigator) or SE21 (Package Builder) to manage packages and objects.
    • SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might provide additional context or solutions for this error.
